Chapter 159: Fighting and Plotting

"Uh......h Woo ......" the horn whistled and pierced the sky over the wilderness, heavy and desolate.

Accompanied by a majestic horn, the archers of the rebels began to enter the firing range, taking their positions and drawing their bows, and at the same time, the iron horsemen struck, surging, and in a moment, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the horses were like waves.

On the side of the Sui army of the imperial court, longbowmen and foot crossbowmen are also ready.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The arrows were shot out at a forty-five degree angle, and the sky was full of swordfish, and they shot towards the opposite phalanx, falling on the enemy's side, killing in a fixed range.

The front-row armorers used shields to resist, and most of the falling arrows were blocked.

"Cavalry attack!"

Luo Zhaoyun drank the order, and three thousand iron cavalry attacked, led by the Asian general Ning Wufei, and the rumbling earthquake sounded, and killed the five thousand troops who swept over.

In terms of numbers, whether it was infantry or iron cavalry, the vanguard of the Sui army did not have an advantage.

If you can give full play to the maximum combat power, it all depends on the command of the commander.

The Great War began.

The cavalry braved the rain of arrows, charged quickly, at this moment, the arrows shot rapidly, the horses galloped, each competed with each other, the cavalry galloped out dozens of steps, just to meet the first round of arrow rain, for a while people shouted that the horses neighed, some unlucky knights were hit by arrows, just like the foot of the tripping horse rope, and suddenly fell down.

But before the second round of arrows could be fired, the cavalry had already collided together, so that the archers on both sides did not shoot arrows at the cavalry battle area, so as not to hurt their own people.

The two iron cavalry are like the moment when the two huge waves in the Yellow River converge, the inertia of galloping, and the moment of condensation. Then there are people on their backs, and flesh and blood fly. Bones are broken, and the sound of being trampled is incessant.

"Kill—"

"Puff puff!"

The sound of knives crunched. Blood splattered, from time to time someone was picked off, slashed, stabbed to death, such a cruel battlefield, everyone is desperately squandering this life, just now still forgetting to kill others, may be dead in the next second, become a pile of meat under the horse's hooves.

Suddenly, this area of fighting was bloody. The stump and leg were broken, the head was flying, bleeding into a canal, and it was purgatory.

Bang bang bang!

The armies of both sides began to move, as if two mountains were converging forward, each with 10,000 infantry phalanxes, ready for the main battle.

This time, the Ya general sent out by the Sui army was Changsun Chao, and he was the main battle faction in the battalion that supported Luo Zhaoyun's northward advance, so. Luo Zhaoyun wants to hand over the task of leading the main force to a trustworthy person, which is beyond reproach.

"Kill—"

The infantry soldiers of both sides began to fight. This time, the Sui army mainly used spears and long hair, which was Luo Zhaoyun's intentional choice, and he came today to teach a set of simple and practical spear skills to this group of armor soldiers. It was he who combined some of the army's combat ideas in later generations, plus his own experience in martial arts in ancient times. A kind of spear technique of weaving, for these forbidden soldiers. It's a little more practical.

Simple and ruthless killing moves, the more direct and effective, with a spear in hand, whether it is charging on horseback, or rushing on foot, fighting alone, the advantage is more obvious.

Luo Zhaoyun knows very well that his advantage is not in force, but in vision.

He came from 2,000 years later, and saw too much superficial knowledge on the Internet and history books, although future generations, everyone can understand the shallow truth, but in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was often new ideas and novel ideas.

At this time, the 10,000 troops of the Sui army were obviously more morale and suppressed the momentum of the 10,000 rebels.

After Luo Zhaoyun saw this, he ordered the order flag to be raised, and more than 2,000 people were sent to join in, and then the army changed formations, and after the wings were expanded, the fierce rebels should be gathered in the crane wing array.

The rebels used the fish scale array, mainly to break through in the middle, so Su Dangui sent another 5,000 troops, focusing on tearing through the middle area and rushing towards the large array of the Sui army.

At this moment, the strength of the Sui army is not as large as that of the rebels, or even nearly half of them, so the area of the big war has tended to be inferior.

Luo Zhaoyun's face was solemn and he still remained calm, but the two generals beside him, Hou Mo Chen Ying and Zhou Botao, were secretly anxious, once defeated, they would have no way to retreat, and if they were covered up, they would all die without a place to bury.

Not only did the two of them know it in their hearts, but even the other generals, captains, and even soldiers also understood it in their hearts.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, there are only 20,000 vanguard troops, and once they are defeated, it is conceivable that they cannot retreat, even if they retreat to the Yellow River, they will have a dead end.

In the hearts of many generals, they began to be a little dissatisfied with Luo Zhaoyun's rash entry into the decisive battle, thinking that he was young and vigorous, greedy for merit, so he had no common sense and was not stable at all.

"General Luo, our army is less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, at least 3,000 people are missing, have they all fled?" Hou Mo Chen Ying asked on the side, his tone changed a little, now on their side, there are only 17,000 people killed, and when 3,000 cavalry and 12,000 armor soldiers are invested, there are only less than 2,000 people.

In addition to the archers and guards, there are more than a thousand soldiers to call on, waiting for the forces on the battlefield to be unable to resist, and they will be defeated immediately.

"Mountain people have their own tricks!" Luo Zhaoyun did not answer directly, in fact, before he sent out the troops, he had divided three thousand armor soldiers in advance, and let a few trustworthy captains lead them, and they had already been ambushed in advance for the effect of surprise soldiers.

"It's time." Luo Zhaoyun sent someone to summon Guo Xiaoke and said: "Captain Guo, the weakness of the fish scale formation lies in the tail side, this general orders you, immediately lead three hundred guards and iron cavalry, go around, and attack the tail of the enemy!" ”

"Yes!" Although Guo Xiaoke didn't know the reason, and who would protect General Luo after taking away the three hundred guards, but at the moment of the war, he did not dare to question and stagnate a little, completely obeyed, and absolutely trusted the commander.

When Guo Xiaoke rushed out from behind with three hundred iron cavalry to encircle the enemy formation, Luo Zhaoyun gave another order, blew the horn, and released signal arrows.

In an instant, from a side col, there were shouts of killing, gongs and drums, flags were waving, dust was flying, and a thousand ambush soldiers rushed out from hundreds of meters away from the left side of the rebels, and the smoke and dust were billowing out, as if there were thousands of men and horses.

"Report-, no, General Su, the ambush of the Sui army was found on the left, and it is suspected that there are thousands of soldiers and horses!"

Hearing this, Su Dangui frowned and said, "This is impossible, isn't there only 20,000 troops in the vanguard of the Sui army?" Could it be that the rest of the troops are hidden and set up this ambush? ”

A general said: "General Su, maybe the Sui army did not come with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they secretly brought in more troops, but we didn't find out." ”

"Meet the enemy now!"

A rebel adjutant general went to the left of the formation to command, mobilized thousands of men and horses, and hurriedly met the battle, in fact, there were some doubts and worries in his heart.

As soon as the fight started here, from the hundreds of meters of jungle on the right side of the rebels, the shouting of killing sounded again, the horns blew, the gongs and drums rushed to the sky, and another Sui army came out to attack the rebels, and the momentum was even greater.

The flags were flying, the grass and trees were all soldiers, as if there was an infinite stream of troops rushing out, this time the rebels who were fighting were uneasy in their hearts, and their momentum weakened suddenly, worried that they would be surrounded by the Sui army.
